  • By dictatorship I mean a government with extreme accumulation of government, and usually military, power in less than a handful of individuals with ineffective or even lack of democratic elections.

    In order to be able to tell if a government is a dictatorship or a democracy, one has to know how said government works first. Make sense, right?

    So, in order to make sure you’re not talking out of your ass here, I have to ask you the question: What do you know about the inner workings of the government of the DPRK? What are the component parts of the government, their function and how are their members choosen? How many and what parties are there and how do they take part in politics? What position does Kim Jong Un occupy? Do you know any other polititians beside him? Is there any elections?

    If you can’t answer any of these questions, on what basis exactly are you claming that the DPRK is a dictatorship?
